Before Union Bordeaux Bègles against Racing 92 on Sunday evening at 9:05 p.m., the Top 14 are offering this Saturday evening a first play-off match to find out who will face Castres next Friday in Nice in the 1/2 final. For this first poster, the Stade Rochelais freshly crowned with its first European title against Leinster, will challenge the current reigning French champion on its lawn, a Stade Toulousain, which in recent years has remained the pet peeve of La Rochelle.
We have to go back to September 14, 2019 to see the maritimes win against Toulouse, 28 to 13, since … nothing, even if at the end of April, the La Rochelle were not far away with a score of 23 to 16.
Composition of Stade Rochelais:
Holders : Dany PRISO, Pierre BOURGARIT, Uini ATONIO, Thomas LAVAULT, Will SKELTON, Wiaan LIEBENBERG, Matthias HADDAD, Greg ALLDRITT (cap), Thomas BERJON, Ihaia WEST, Raymond RHULE, Levani BOTIA, Jérémy SINZELLE, Dillyn LEYDS, Brice DULIN.
The substitutes : Facundo BOSCH, Reda WARDI, Romain SAZY, Rémi BOURDEAU, Arthur RETIÈRE, Jules FAVRE, Jonathan DANTY, Joel SCLAVI.
Toulouse / La Rochelle to live in full on France Bleu La Rochelle from 8:30 p.m.
